Senate Judiciary Committee: Kushner forwarded emails about 'a Russian backdoor overture and dinner invite'
President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner forwarded emails concerning a Russian backdoor overture and dinner invite to Trump campaign officials and failed to produce those emails to the Senate Judiciary Committee, according to a letter the senators sent Kushner's lawyer on Thursday.
Kushner also failed to produce emails on which he was copied involving communication with WikiLeaks, and with the Belarusan-American businessman Sergei Millian, the senators said. Millian most recently headed a group called the Russian-American Chamber of Commerce.
"There are several documents that are known to exist but were not included in your production," Senators Chuck Grassley and Dianne Feinstein wrote to Kushner.
They continued:
"For example, other parties have produced September 2016 email communications to Mr. Kushner concerning WikiLeaks, which Mr. Kushner then forwarded to another campaign official. Such documents should have been produced in response to the third request but were not. Likewise, other parties have produced documents concerning a 'Russian backdoor overture and dinner invite' which Mr. Kushner also forwarded. And still others have produced communications with Sergei Millian, copied to Mr. Kushner. Again, these do not appear in Mr. Kushners production despite being responsive to the second request."

OP
How do Kushner's emails not show conspiracy with Wikileaks & Russia during the campaign?

I'm starting to think when the Mueller report finally drops, something will actually happen.

Is it show time already?

expedite "dinner invite". A-G Sessions, after not recalling that email, will then recall it and support the calling that it was only for dinner invitations.

possible we were handed the Al Franken "scandal" to get us to look over there and not at the Judiciary Committee.

I'm starting to think when the Mueller report finally drops, something of note, something with actual consequences will actually happen.
A primary unanswered question of mine is whether the report hits before or after the mid-terms.
